Hello Everyone, Well Loda cerainly didn't cause any grief this week. I had absolutely no knowledge of the "record" concerned. However the performer, who I had heard of, appeared quite...

Listener 4148 - More Collusion by The Magpie

Having seen the setter(s) I thought that this would be a real problem. Surprisingly, despite some tricky clues, it all fell into place quite quickly. I notice that these days they omit the instruction...

Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations EV 977 Sunday July 24th 2011

A relatively easy offering this week by Kruger. Athough I have completed the grid, I still cannot work out the original answers to 20ac and 38ac.

Listener 4147 OZ and WR by Theod

Having seen that this has a Playcode code, I was intending to put it to one side. Having failed at that, I now find myself within an ace of finishing. Much easier than I expected, but I realise that...

EV 976 Wind by Kcit

Greetings N & Cers. I have a completed grid together with the hint to the thematic words from the surplus letters, but not those words themselves. Despite not having the thematic words, I have the...

Listener 4146 What it Says by Waterloo

A pretty straightforward solve this week, as 6 or 8 cold solves revealed the likely method of entry. But, a well constructed puzzle, and a nice break after last week's brainbuster. Thank you Waterloo,...

Listener 4144: Location, Location, Location by Shackleton

Despite only solving 2 of Shackleton's puzzles before (the Jackson Pollock puzzle and the Morse code/Beethoven prize winning puzzle of last year), I have been eagerly awaiting the next. This does not...

EV 973 Shade by Samuel

For the second week running I found the EV tougher than the Listener! Having the extra letters in the wordplay rather than the clue makes them harder to spot. I got the quote about 2/3 of the way...

Listener Crossword 4143: the Bottom Line by Charybdis

Not so much a Listener Crossword, more a plea for sanity. A neatly put together grid with an eye less to the difficulty of solving than to the transparency of the message. Nothing too difficult here -...

Listener Crossword 4142: Noye by Samuel

Is 12 across blessed with the correct clue? I've seen the same clue (31 across in this case) leading to a different answer on occasions, but I can only work out one single word answer which doesn't...

EV 972 Extraction by Oxymoron

Oh no, it's Mr. O! Greetings you Brits, Swiss (honorary) and any Croatians who may be lurking. A difficult EV, I thought, that would not be out of place as a Listener. Many obscure words for answers;...

EV 971 Track by Loda

Can this be the first post on this puzzle? I thought it was very well done; the theme dawned on me very late in the game - I suspect those who caught it early on had an easier time of finding the...

Listener 4141 : Trailblazers by Dysart

Grid fill is proceding quite quickly and smoothly, especially when compared to last week. However, I know that this will rapidly slow down as I know nothing about either the two adversaries or the...

Listener 4140 "Jumping to Conclusion" by Sabre

Not even close yet: I have almost all the "outside" clues and most of the ones that start on the outside, but tracking them through the knight moves is pretty desperate at the moment. I'm...

Listener 4138: The X-factor by IOA
